Most insensitive thing said by someone regarding your pregnancy ( any pregnancy)

I have noticed a few here ;) and they reminded me of insensitive responses to my pregnancy with my daughter ( not enough people know about this one yet ;)
Mine, was a 'friend' I told her I was pregnant she choose that moment to start telling me about a mutual acquaintance that had had a stillborn a year before and the gruesome details. Yeah I limited my conversations with her that whole pregnancy.

Not so much insensitive... this one made me laugh. My husband (46) told a good friend of his that I (27) am pregnant and the friend says, "it's about time!" First of all, we'd only been married for 7-8 months when we found out (and nothing *ahem* happened before we were married) and neither one of us wanted kids yet. The friend said, "yeah, an older guy marries a young girl and they have kids right away!" Uhh... okay. :-D

I am so glad to have found this thread. Reading these makes me feel, oddly, better and not so alone. I am due in April 2013 and just told my mom and step-father. I am 35yo and unmarried but am in a long term relationship with a man I love and they don't care for very much. When I told them my, to me, happy news. My step-father called me a dumba** and told me I was selfish and was ruining my mother's life. Robbing her of a white wedding followed by a grandchild but that they would love the child regardless of it's legitamacy. I felt like I took a time warp to the 1950's and was going to be carted off to a home. I was dumbfounded, shocked, and so so hurt. Not what I was expecting at all. Thanks to everyone for sharing there stories - as I said it makes me feel a tad better.

I had many losses before having my daughter. One of my pregnancies had a fatal NTD. My boss told me I didnt deserve to have a baby since I wasnt legally married and that I was stupid to even be trying again. Needless to say, I am no longer employed there (thank goodness) and have the most wonderful daughter ever :)

arielmd91 Be proud you're pregnant! If they don't like it, screw them! A baby is always a blessing, no matter what people think. I'll be praying for you and your precious baby, hope you can find a mom figure to support you soon! Just wait though, no matter what they think now... When they hold their grandchild for the first time they'll love it... They won't know how they ever said such cruel things. (That's my prayer.)

Enjoy your child as long as you can, I hope it will be for the next 40 years!

I've always thought that I wouldn't be able to have children because I have very irregular periods (like one or two a year). So when my boyfriend of three years and I found out we were pregnant, it was a HUGE surprise and we were super excited. My dad has never really like George, my boyfriend (who has a really good job, good insurance, a master's degree, let's me live with him for free, and loves me). When we told my dad, he said "Is it George's?" What?!?! I couldn't believe he would say that in front of George or that he would think I was sleeping around. Unbelievable!!
